1 Revised: Simalfa 335-Of {Overspray Free} Product Description SIMALFA 335-OF allows for instant bonding and Overspray Free application. While all SIMALFA products can be sprayed with no overspray, there are many operator and equipment related variables that can potentially create overspray. SIMALFA 335-OF is specifically engineered to eliminate those variables. Our OF technology creates a web-like spray pattern that prevents adhesive particles from going airborne and creating a cloud, insuring a clean, safe and waste free environment. Key Properties Bonds to Many Materials Very-Fast Drying OF Technology {Overspray Free} High Yield Instant Bond Fast Processing One-Sided Application Repositionability High Temperature Resistance Soft Bond Line Solvent Free Certifications GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certified GREENGUARD Children & Schools SM Physical Properties Composition:... Dispersion of acrylic resin, and synthetic rubber in water. Color:... Red, Natural (white), or Custom Odor:...

2 Available Container Sizes Simalfa is available in 5, 110, and 250 gallon containers (20, 440, and 1000 kg containers). For additional container size information, visit the web at: Surface Preparation Surfaces must be clean, dry and dust free. Any petroleum based product such as oil or grease can prevent suitable bonding. Application Never agitate or mix before using. Simalfa can be applied to both surfaces with a spray gun. However, in many instances, single sided application is the preferred method. Hold the spray gun between 6-12 (15cm - 25cm) from the surface and be sure to overlap the pattern slightly with each pass to ensure uniform coverage. Coverage Coverage will vary depending on the porosity of substrates and strength of adhesive bond desired. Typical users will cover up to 1000 square feet per gallon. In all cases, user evaluation will be required to determine the optimum coverage levels for their application. Assembly and Bonding Time Simalfa bonds immediately after spraying. Users can reposition the substrates, to maximize the quality of their product, without re-spraying. Pressure may be applied via manual or mechanical methods to enhance the initial bond. In addition, the user can place the substrates together up to 15 minutes after spraying if required by their production process. After 15 minutes the adhesive may dry and the final adhesion can suffer, or a pseudoadhesion could take place. The final bond is achieved once the residual water has evaporated. Although water evaporation happens quickly, it is recommended users wait 24 hours before performing any final bond testing. Application Method and Equipment SIMALFA is best dispensed via our patented Free Flowing gravity delivery system and applied with our high volume low-pressure (HVLP) spray guns. Other spray gun manufacturers may also have suitable application equipment. To find out if your spray gun works with Simalfa, just contact us, we can help. We can supply all the necessary design, engineering and equipment to properly install and use SIMALFA. Application Methods:... Manual spray, Automatic spray, Roll, or Brush Spray Gun:... SIMALFA HVLP Nozzle Size: mm Method of Dispensing:... Free Flowing System (Patent#: ) or pressure container. Pumping is not recommended Other Information:... All parts coming in contact with adhesive must be made of stainless steel or plastic. Definitely NO colored metals such as aluminum, steel, brass, etc. Cleaning of Equipment:... Use water only. Never use solvents of any type. DO NOT SUBMERGE SPRAY GUN IN WATER Cleanup In some cases wet adhesive may be removed with water. Dry adhesive cannot be removed from porous substrates such as foams or fabrics. It is recommended that users prevent adhesive from getting on surfaces where it s not wanted. Precautionary Information Please refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet and Product Label for Health and Safety Information before using Simalfa. 2
